Open Trackback Friday — October 5, 2007 (Okay, So It’s A Little Late)

Due to circumstances beyond my control (a kind way of saying “thanks to some sumbitch hacker”) my blog is back and on the latest version of WordPress (thanks to my personal tech support who happens to be my wonderful wife). So Open Trackback Friday started early Saturday morning. Better late than never, I guess. So although it’s technically Saturday, I’ll still proclaim it still Open Trackback Friday! This is your opportunity to share interesting blog entries from your blog by using this blog’s trackback feature. Many people, including myself enjoy reading a variety of material from other people’s blogs, so link your post to this one, send a trackback to it and it’ll appear in the comments section after I manually approve it. I still approve all comments & trackbacks manually due to spam bots so it won’t show up immediately, but I will get to it as soon as I can. I am still using myself as the ultimate spam filter but now have the aid of an excellent trackback filter. To obtain the trackback URL simply rightclick where it says “trackback” below and then click on “copy shortcut” to get it. That’s all there is to it! And thank you in advance for trackbacking to my blog. And while you’re here, please take some time to look at some articles I’ve posted. Maybe you’ll find something interesting. If you do, trackback to it as well.
